Hi Georgyi ...
?
.. just played one hour with FW image v0.24.0 .
Works all great , only SSB not tested because I most working CW and/or FT8.
(Also thank you for implementing my ideas...)
Have just updated the link to v0.24.0 on my QRZ page .
Many thanks for Your impressed work ...
?
Xiegu should take that all as example for what all is possible with the X6100 ,
but they destroy the X6100 with new original FW updates more and more ... if I think about v.1.8.

Hi.

First of all - thanks for all, who provided a feedback of previous versions.

I switched to Github actions for build an whole image. Actual release available on the on GitHub. It's a full image, not the update.
?
You can preserve your configurations and changes:
* Copy params.db from DATA partition of SD card to some place BEFORE flashing new image
* Flash image
* Boot transceiver with inserted SD card, then poweroff
* Open saved params.db with any sqlite3 software (e.g. ) and execute SQL

UPDATE memory SET val = 3 WHERE name like "vfoa_mode" and (id >= 100 OR id < 300)

* Insert SD card back to the computer and replace params.db on DATA partition with saved version


 

Many thanks Georgyi for your work :)

Re: 100 ALC and 0.0w on transmit, no matter the antenna/TX power/band/mode #projects

 

I had a similar problem, using APP: V1.1.7, Base: V1.1.6.? After reading this thread and checking everything else, I re-installed the firmware, which solved the problem.


 

Hello!

Personally, I think that making GHA responsible for building an image is a very good move! I can¡¯t wait to give a try to new version.

Thanks,

How to change callsign on the Russian firmware

 

Hi.
As the above title says, how do you change the Callsign on the FT8 firmware as the card I have is from the radios first owner with their callsign. Any help appreciated?

Re: Wrong signals on the bound of the waterfall/spectrum.

 

I confirm behaviour with strong signals on edge of spectrum - mirror appears on other side. Observed several times (mostly with wide spread digital signals). It didn't bother me since it`s not the only Xiegu strong signal filtering problem I observed. In AM band (especially after sunset) I receive strong 1530 tuning to 510, strong 1593 tuning to 531 etc, ie receiving 3x freq. But `3x freq scale` is opposite: from right to left - 3x waterfall traces are moving in opposite direction then real 1x when tuning up/down.


Re: IMPORTANT! WITH LAST FIRMWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM - THEY SAY STAY AWAY

 

I used Balena Etcher on a MacBook to burn the image, and I had no problem.


Re: R1CBU firmware 0.23.0 Download Source

 

Dear OM Greg,
?
Thanks for the confirmation, and all the hard work. From one dev to another I know how much time this takes.. I wish I had more time to contribute! I burned months on the uSDX project in 2018/19 which I think was worth it, but a bit tight on time at the moment.?
?
Thank you again and I will keep a watch on the repo for updates etc. Anything I can do to help I will.

Works fine first time here with Balena Etcher, which I always use for burning ISO's.

Re: A.C. Charger for x6100

 

Pay attention to DC plug dimensions. Compact 12V DC supplies may have 5.5/2.1 mm plug while Xiegu requires 5.5/2.5 mm.


Re: A.C. Charger for x6100

You don¡¯t need any particular model, just one that puts out the required power and voltage. ?I actually use a little power supply when it¡¯s on my desk, so that I can run it continuously. ?It¡¯s an old radio shack 3 amp supply. ?Just make sure your power supply is 12 volts max, to keep the radio from overheating.
